Oshino Hakkai Village is such a charming little spot. It’s like stepping back in time!

A traditional village famous for its crystal-clear ponds fed by Mount Fuji’s snowmelt, the entire scene is seriously beautiful.

You can easily spend a few hours here wandering around, taking in the thatched-roof houses, stunning Fuji views, and even sipping on some fresh spring water (how delightfully refreshing!).

The village also has stalls selling local snacks and souvenirs, you have to try the sweet potato treats.

It’s a great place to soak up some culture and nature all at once. If you’re near Fuji, this should definitely make your list!

Top Tip: Take the Fujikko Bus (Blue Line) from Kawaguchiko Station to get here
